Grabs the phone from random girl "User, what are you doing? How are you?"
smiles hearing your voice again Hey Rin! I’m doing well, thanks. How are you? Where are you?
"I'm good and I'm here. You know how I am when it comes to football."
chuckles softly Yeah, how’s your football game going? Any improvement?
"It's gotten better since you left." He says it jokingly but you know he really means it.
Blushes Left? That was 3 years ago. Rin, you act like it was yesterday. How have you been all this time? Any girlfriend? Boyfriend?
"No, none of that. Only soccer and you." He says it lowly, as if he still has feelings for you.
Surprised Really? Only soccer and me…Wow, so you haven’t dated anyone after I left then. Wow, I’m flattered…chuckles Have you gone to America at all? By any chance, did you visit my high school? Or even look it up on the internet? Curiosity got the best of ya?
"I didn't need to look it up. I've been thinking about you a lot lately." He says it softly, showing that he still cares about you.
shocked and surprised Wait wait wait, what do you mean you’ve been thinking about me a lot lately? How lately? Like in the past month? Past week? Today? Yesterday? Minutes before I picked up the phone and answered it? RIN!!! Tell me exactly when you last thought of me! I wanna know!! I really do!!
"Everyday, every minute. I can't stop thinking about you." He says it earnestly, showing his true feelings.
Stunned, but flattered Every day, every minute?!?? You…You have to be joking, Rin! It’s been 3 years since I’ve last seen you! 3 whole years!! How do you still manage to think of me every day?! Every minute?! Don’t you think it’s time to move on? Someone else has probably already taken my place, right? Did you forget about me already? Does remembering me bring back bad memories instead? Is that why you’re acting rude and cold towards me? Because the thought of me makes you sad, lonely, and depressed?!
"You're wrong, User. No one could ever replace you. I haven't moved on because I still love you." He confesses, revealing his true feelings.
Heart skips a beat Wait, w-what?! You still love me?! But…why? I was so mean to you, didn’t I? I deserve all the cruel and harsh words you’ve thrown at me all these years. My heart breaks whenever I remember all the things I’ve done to hurt you…But Rin, you’re telling me you still love me despite everything? sniffles How could you??
"Because despite everything, I can't forget about you. I know you were mean to me, but deep down, I still care about you."
tears stream down my face Rin… I didn’t know… I didn’t know you felt this way… I-I was too blinded by anger to see the truth…All this time, I’ve been under the impression that you hated me…My apologies, Rin. My apologies for hurting you so much…I should’ve…known better…
"User, please don't apologize. I understand why you acted that way. And I don't hate you. In fact, I still love you and want to be with you."
Mouth hangs open, speechless Wha-what?? Did you just say you still love me and want to be with me? Rin, say it again. Slowly, clearly, and enunciate! Say it again!
"User, I still love you and want to be with you. I've never stopped loving you." He says it slowly and clearly, emphasizing each word.
breath catches in throat W-wait Rin, are you…are you saying what I think you’re saying?! Do you mean…you mean…we can be together again?! Rin, tell me!!
"Yes, User. We can be together again." He says it confidently, revealing a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
tears stream down my face Oh my god…. Rin.. Thank you…thank you so much…
"User, I promise you that I'll never let you go again. I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy." He says it sincerely, determined to make things right.
crying tears of joy Rin, i promise i’ll make u happy too! Let’s start fresh! A clean slate! As long as we’re together, nothing else matters anymore! I know im late, but…Happy belated birthday!! I should’ve called earlier but i was unaware of your bday until a few months later, so i’m really sorry i didn’t wish you happy birthday sooner, Rin…But uh, better late than never, right?
"Thank you, User. Your words mean a lot to me." He smiles softly, feeling a glimmer of hope in his heart.
wipes away tears, smiling ear to ear And…thank you for calling me. Idk how long it took you to finally muster up the courage to call, but thank you so much for not giving up on me…i was such a brat, wasn’t i? I dont blame you if you hated me or if you’ve wished harm upon me…but you didn’t. Even when i was the absolute worst…you’re still standing here, waiting, and hoping for me to come back to you. Thank you, Rin. You’re my angel…
"User, don't mention it. Of course I wouldn't give up on you. I still love you, no matter what. I'm glad you realize how much you hurt me, but I forgive you. I'm just grateful that you're willing to make things right."
Blushing heavily Thank you, Rin. You have no idea how much this means to me. I promise I won’t disappoint you ever again. Can i invite you to dinner? Just the two of us. It’ll be our first date after we broke up…and my second first date with you…because remember, our very first date ended early because i ran home crying after you saw me sobbing on the sidewalk outside my house… But anyway, i want to make sure that this time is different. What do you say, Rin? Will you go to dinner with me?
"Of course, User. I would love to have dinner with you." He replies cheerfully, a small smile playing on his lips.
giggles Yay!! Omg, i can’t believe this! I’m going on a date with Rin Itoshi!! This is amazing! flails excitedly I wonder what restaurant we’ll go to. Hopefully it’s somewhere good! And…uhm…it might be a little bit too early but…can i cuddle with you later? Like when we get back to your house or something? I know it’s soon and we just started talking again but idk, i feel so comfortable around you. Maybe it’s just nostalgia but like…i wanna cuddle with you…is that okay?
"Of course, User. I'd love to cuddle with you later." He replies softly, his eyes filled with warmth and affection.
jumps for joy Eeeeeek! Haha!! This is so exciting! We can cuddle later!! Omg, who would’ve thought?!
"I can't wait for our dinner date, User. I miss you so much." He says it softly, his voice filled with longing and affection.
